the tent that dreams of being a studio apartment

*Raph begins the slow descent into wakefullness. If you were to ever get him to admit to liking something, this would be it. That place between waking reality, and sleep. Where you know you're not awake, and loving every minute of it. He's aware that Penny is beside him, and that he is warm and comfortable. Raph snakes an arm around Penny and gently pulls her closer, taking a second to adjust the blankets and pillows.

Waitaminute...
There weren't blankets and pillows when they went to sleep last night. They were out by the lake, sleeping under the stars.
A feeling of dread begins to set in.
Raph opens one eye, and slowly begins to take in his surroundings.
They're not by the lake....they're on the roof.*

*penny is half awake herself, she snuggles into him. But she can tell somethings wrong, she just rolls over andsnuggles in and lays her head on his chest. Just being there is so much easier than fighting, she worried but she doesn't need to say it and he doesn't need to feel like she's upset*

Penny, you awake?

yeah

I don't wanna worry you, or nothin'...but we're not by the lake anymore.

you said you couldn't climb.

*sounds like he's trying to figure this out*
I did. I mean, I can't, and I didn't.

*she looks up at him*
So, how'd we get up here?

*he cringes sheepishly*
I...I think I may be sick, or somethin'.
I don't know.

Sick?
*she frowns*
We ended up on the roof, because you are sick. Is that supposed to make sense?

I don't really care, i'm cozy and you're here so I am in damn good shape, but you seemed upset.

*He flops back on the bed and puts his hands over his face*
I think the bar gave me magic powers, Penny.
man that sounds wicked stupid.

Why would the bar...
ok, so you have magic powers?
Why complain about it?
This could be fun.
I know magic and you don't get along, but...
*she smiles*

*he uncovers his face and turns his head to look at her*
Well, you know, a little warnin' would have been nice. 'Specially before I hit the pavement yesterday.

i don't think its one of those things that gives you a warning.

You fell? Because you can't climb?

*turns away out of embarassment*
I won't climb because I fell. Don't trust myself. It ain't like me to not trust myself. That's why I think I'm sick, or somethin'.

I, got scared of heights at the last second, and didn't recover in time.

Oh Honey,
maybe the bar gave you magic to make up for you being sick. She's usually nice like that.

*she snuggles up against him*

Nice. Right. Like that time she made me blind in one eye. That was a hoot.

She means well.
sometimes you do silly things, when you are trying to help and it ends up making things worse. She's just like everyone else.

*sighs*
Yeah, I guess.

*turns to her*
How come you're so laid back about this? I mean, wouldn't you be freakin' out if you found out you made glass shatter when you got pissed off?

Because there's nothing i can do but be here. And when i get concerned, we fight and I don't wanna fight.

*he chuckles and kisses her on the temple.*

*she smiles*
of course, you're freaked out. You didn't mean to break glass. You were angry. You didn't have too good a reason to be angry. people were making sure you were ok. People care about you in that bar. I'm sorry if I was upset at you, but...

*she just shakes her head*

Yeah yeah, I know.
*shakes his head and sighs*
just wasn't exactly proud that I fell is all.

I didn't mean to make you upset.

*snuggles into him and lays her head on his shoulder*
I know.
But you coulda hurt somebody.

but I didn't mean to. People just kept closin' in.
Felt trapped.

Right, but they were trying to help. You were hurt. You can't expect people not to worry. You can't expect us to ignore you cause youmight feel like we are closing in on you. And I am speaking for me here, I am supposed to worry. I'm not trying to trap you.

Damn it, I just don't get you sometimes.

*she rolls over*
